[★BREAKING] Kim Tae Hee And Rain Release Images From Their Wedding

Rain and Kim Tae Hee‘s wedding ceremony is now over and the couple released a few pictures of the event for their fans as well as Kim Tae Hee’s hand-written letter.

The newlyweds got married at Gaoe Catholic Church on the afternoon of January 19 with many celebrity friends such as JYP, PSY, and Honey Lee as witnesses. With the wedding over and the couple pronounced husband and wife, the newlyweds have released photos and a hand-written letter to thank their fans.

Although fans and reporters swarmed the exterior of the venue attempting to catch a glimpse of the power couple, heavy security prevented anyone uninvited from entering the premises. This allowed the wedding to be carried out in a very private and intimate manner.

Here is the full translation of Kim Tae Hee’s letter:

Hello, this is Kim Tae Hee.

First and foremost, I would like to thank everyone for their congratulations and support despite the suddenness of the news.

Today is the first day of the long journey ahead of the two of us, and I would like the first step with the blessing of all of our fans who have loved and cherished us.

We will respect each other and make up for each other’s failings as we live our fullest.

I will repay you for the warmth and the moving moments you have shown me through your overflowing love as a wife and a more mature actress.

I will also live life as someone my partner can lean on and count as support.

I pray that this year is full of happiness and joy for all of you and please be careful not to catch a cold in this freezing weather. Once again I would like to thank everybody.

“Already 16 years have passed since I debuted. The fans that were with me all that time have become beautiful women and mothers.

“Now I, as the oldest son in my household, also seek to become a great husband. [Kim Tae Hee] has always been there for me, unmoving, in sad times and in happy times, and she never fails to amaze me. Our trust and love for each other is as strong as ever, and we’ve decided to take the leap.

“As the current times are unstable, we will be as quiet and humble as possible with our wedding ceremony. As such, we apologize for not revealing details to the public.

“Thank you again to everyone for sending me so much love over 16 years. I will continue to move forward with my career, both as a singer and actor, with responsibility and modesty.

“She is the best present to me.”

Rain and Kim Tae Hee have dated for four years. Some reports are stating that the wedding ceremony will be held on February 19, although this has not been confirmed.

Earlier today, an exclusive report claimed that Rain and Kim Tae Hee, a well-known celebrity couple celebrating 4 years together, would be tying the knot this February. Rain addressed the report personally by uploading a handwritten letter to fans on his Instagram, and now, Kim Tae Hee's label Lua Entertainment has also released a message for fans of the actress.

The message is as follows:

"Hello, this is Lua Entertainment.

It's time for actress Kim Tae Hee and (singer/actor) Jung Ji Hoon to become bonded as each other's most valuable partners, so we want to summarize the current situation. The two have built up their relationship of love and trust as a couple over the years, and that relationship has finally yielded its fruit.

They plan on carrying out their ceremony as quietly and as piously as possible under the guidance of the Catholic church, and to honor the wishes of both as well as their parents, we cannot reveal the time and place of the wedding, for which we apologize. They will hold a small and meaningful ceremony with only their families present, and have not yet made any plans for a honeymoon afterward.

Children, who are the beautful gifts of two coming together, will be discussed slowly after the ceremony. [Kim Tae Hee] would like to thank everyone for their love and attention, and will put in all her efforts into living as an exemplary family. Any questions and concerns there may be, we will answer as soon as we come to a decision on each situation.

Once again, we thank you, and we wish you good fortune in the new year."

This Hidden Message In Rain’s New Song Proves It’s A Proposal To Kim Tae Hee

With the news of Rain and Kim Tae Hee’s marriage – Rain’s recently released single: “The Greatest Gift” takes on a deeper meaning.

Rain returned after a 3-year break with the “The Greatest Gift” – a song composed and gifted to him by his long-term friend: PSY.

After announcing their marriage, Psy was eager and relieved to finally be able to congratulate Rain publically in regards to Rain’s marriage via Twitter and to share some truths regarding the “The Best Present.”

Psy shared that “The Best Present” was a proposal song made by Rain and it was a song full of everything Rain wanted to say to his soon to be wife: Kim Tae Hee.

A final thing Psy revealed was that the song had a secret message for Kim Tae Hee from Rain. One line during the song says “Your name forever will be the biggest happiness” which is a secret message to Kim Tae Hee.

‘Tae’ in Chinese means ‘Big’ and ‘Hee’ means ‘happiness’ so the line “Your name forever, the biggest happiness” is a line which in actuality says “Your name forever, Tae Hee.”

Rain announced with the release of his song that this song was very special to him because he thought of Kim Tae Hee constantly while working on this song.

One can see this immediately with the initial lyrics of the song going:

“Whenever I’m tired and in distress, when I start to give up on everything – it was you who caught me. It was you, who caught me.”

Later on in the song he also sings that “Your name will forever be my greatest happiness” and listeners could not help but love Rain for his heartfelt lyrics in this song towards Kim Tae Hee.

Korean pop star Rain and top actress Kim Tae-hee have admitted they are in a romantic relationship.

On the morning of New Year’s Day, the news hit the front pages of online portal websites after a news outlet posted several photos of the two getting into a car.

After a few hours, Kim’s agency gave out a statement, admitting to the actress`s relationship with the singer.

“It has been a bit over a month since they started seeing each other. Since the two are well-known celebrities, they don’t have enough time to meet and have limited places to go. Though their relationship is developing, it is still in its early stages,” officials from Kim`s agency explained.

Rain and Kim, both in an open relationship for the first time, are said to have developed feelings for each other since they shot a TV commercial for a social commerce company together in November 2011.

What is catching many people`s attention is they shot to stardom from very different backgrounds. While Rain went through a poverty-stricken childhood, Kim is well- known for her intelligence with a bachelor degree from Seoul National University, one of the top universities in the country.

Rain, performing his duty in Korean army’s Defense Media Agency,is currently the focus of suspicion that he is receiving too much vacation time such as regular weekends off and four days off around Christmas.

While a regular enlisted soldier receives 28 days of time off amounting to a maximum 60 days during his two year`s of military duty, Rain, as reported by many Korean media outlets, received 62 days of vacation time and days off from January to October in 2012 alone.

Since the topic of mandatory military service is an extremely sensitive one in Korea, the news of their blossoming romance is being clouded by this allegation regarding Rain.

Rain, 30, whose real name is Jung Ji-hoon, is a big name throughout Asia after he started a solo singing career in 2002. The “Rainism” singer successfully took up acting starting with the hit KBS series “Full House” opposite actress Song Hye-kyo in 2004.

After his last screen project “R2B,” he enlisted in Korean army’s Defense Media Agency from October 2011 and is set to be discharged in July this year.

Kim, 32, rose to fame after appearing in the SBS TV series “Stairway to Heaven” alongside Hallyu stars Kwone Sang-woo and Choi Ji-woo in 2003.

She gained further recognition in Japan and throughout Asia after starring in the KBS blockbuster series “IRIS” in 2009 and is currently revving up for her next small screen project “Jang Ok-jeong, Living in Love” [translated title].

Rain and Kim's relationship became the most-searched item on Naver, the country's largest search engine. News spread quickly through blogs and social networking services, with some Internet users congratulating them while others raised questions over how Rain was able to get out of the military so often to date Kim.

Internet users pointed out that Rain, who joined the military as an "entertainment soldier" on Oct. 11, 2011, was given more leave and special vacations than regular soldiers.

According to the Ministry of National Defense, of the 450 days since Rain joined the military, the celebrity was off work for 94 days, which is triple the amount a regular corporal would receive, which is around 30 days.

The Defense Ministry, meanwhile, has its own say on the issue.

"Rain has been dispatched to serve in the military's promotion department, and unlike others, soldiers there have a lot of preparations to do to stage

performances around the country", a ministry official said. "It is natural that they need more leave from their barracks".
